What is Workforce Management?
Workforce Management put simply, is about worker productivity.
It joins the dots between business goals and worker motivation. The more aligned these are, the greater the likelihood of business success.
WFM is an HR and operations process intended to maximise worker output at every stage of the worker lifecycle from recruitment to retention. It puts business needs at the heart of staff planning and asks: do we have the right people, doing the right work at the right place and time?

Why is Workforce Management important?
Although WFM is commonly used for rota and schedule planning, it can also help identify which competencies, soft skills and experience levels your workforce needs to support future growth.
When done properly, business leaders can develop plans to address staffing gaps that might restrict sales in the short term or responsiveness to uncertainty in the long term. Both of these are crucial to support continued business success.
